UAM 'allow_user_group' shortcode

    For those times when you need finer access control granularity, when you need to hide/show a section of a page based upon the current user’s group, here is my solution. NOTE: I am not a PHP developer, just a casual user, so there are no doubt improvements that can be made to this.

    I put this in functions.php:

    /*
    Allow user group shortcode.

    Usage: [allow_user_group groupname="UAM_Group_Name|etcetera"]<HTML MARKUP>[/allow_user_group]
*/
add_shortcode('allow_user_group', 'allow_user_group_func');
function allow_user_group_func($atts, $content = '')
{
    $result = ''; //  <-- user does not have permission
    extract(shortcode_atts(array('groupname' => ''), $atts));
    if(!empty($groupname))
    {
        global $wpdb;
        $entries = $wpdb->get_results
        (
            $wpdb->prepare
            (
                "SELECT groupname FROM {$wpdb->prefix}uam_accessgroups uamag, {$wpdb->prefix}uam_accessgroup_to_object uamagto WHERE uamagto.group_id=uamag.id and uamagto.object_id=%d",
                wp_get_current_user()->ID
            )
        );
        $parts = explode("|", $groupname);
        foreach($parts as $part)
        {
            foreach($entries as $entry)
            {
                if(trim($entry->groupname) == trim($part))
                {
                    $result = $content; //  <-- user has permission
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return $result;
}

    and I put the following into the page itself:

    [allow_user_group groupname="Data_Top_Secret|Biatches_Only|etcetera"]
    You are authorized, biatch!
[/allow_user_group]

    You need to leave a code example. I have no idea what you are talking about “it.”

    Hello, thank you for your shortcode.I have same issue.
    UAM can’t add admin user to any group. If I use this code, admin user can’t see THE CONTENT, because admin is not belong to GROUP_NAME.

    [allow_user_group groupname="GROUP_NAME"]
THE CONTENT
[/allow_user_group]

    Do you have any idea how to show admin THE CONTENT ?

    Thanks.

    Ohhhh, now I understand miyanke’s post. Y’all’s problems are that you can’t add admin user to a user group. Well you can’t use my shortcode for role, only for user groups. Instead you must use a shortcode that works with roles.

    Google is your friend.
